Bug Description

The file browser launcher won't show correct icons of the bookmark folders if they on a different drive even if Nautilus shows the correct icons.

When the bookmark folders are on a different drive . All those folders have their respective icons (document, download, music ) when seen in Nautilus or even through gnome-panel places menu. AWN won't show their proper icons but instead a generic folder icon for all those bookmarks which is not really helpful in quickly pointing to the required bookmark.

Things tried but failed :
1) Installed stable release from Ubuntu repos.
2) Tried default icon theme in Ubuntu.
3) Tried reinstalling AWN

*Distribution : Ubuntu 10.04
*PPA used : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:awn-testing/ppa
*bzr version used : 0.4.1~bzr1359-1.10.04
* Compiz installed.
*nvidia GeForce GT130M graphics card. Driver version 195.36.24

The bug is also present in previous stable releases of AWN installed from stable ppa.

Except 'Home' folder none of those bookmarked folders are on Ubuntu's partition and hence they all have generic icons. Edit (18.4 KiB, image/png)

I don't think that a bookmark points to location on a different drive is causing the problem, because most of my bookmarks point to local directories and these also have the normal "folder" icon. Revision 1383 should fix it however. (initial patch made by albyrock87)

Thank you onox for paying attention to this bug. I hope it gets fixed soon. Is there anyway I can help in solving this problem ? I haven't done linux programming for a real project apart from my college courses but if you can let me know the steps I would love to contribute to this project.
